Magical Spot Near Chania

My husband and our 2 teenagers just returned from this lovely Oasis near Chania and we all agreed we could not have picked a better location or house for our visit. Not only is the villa stunningly beautiful and immaculate, but our host, Despina, was so incredibly welcoming and generous. From the welcome basket filled with wine, olives and other specialty items from Crete, Cretan bath products in the bathrooms, and the most amazing breakfast spread freshly prepared each morning by her chef, we felt like our every need was anticipated. She was so helpful in recommending beaches, towns and restaurants. She even reserved a table for us our first night. The house itself is so lovely. It has all the modern amenities but the thing we loved most about it was how it blended so

Beautiful stay

Despina is an excellent hostess. Great communications before we arrived so we know what to expect. She also prepared a wonderful welcome basket with local products that we truly enjoyed and brought olive oil and honey back home in the US, which reminds us about the good time spent at the villa. The villa is super clean, well pointed with high end furnitures and all the modern conveniences. Master bedroom on the 2nd floor has panoramic view of the surrounding area, from snow dotted mountains, olive ranchers, to the sea. We also loved the breakfast in the open air kitchen/dining room. Great ambiance surrounded by fruit trees and flowers, food is delicious and some come directly from the garden, cant be more fresh than that! Overall a 10/10 experience. The only regret is that we

Kensington Tour Group Dave & Nancy Thomas

Despina, our host, was the most helpful and enjoyable person to work with in all our travels. We had weather related travel delays, lost passports, unexpected tour occurrences which she helped us navigate through. The on site breakfast by chef Victor was spectacular and he even catered in a meal for us on request. The villas architecture and artwork was superb and special welcoming touches were noted on arrival. The patio sunset views were not to be missed against the mountains and the blue sea. Hopefully we can visit again. If you are in Crete dont miss it.

Fantastic family holiday in a stunning villa!

Despina is a wonderful and welcoming host who reached out to us immediately once the booking was made. She met us on arrival at the villa to give us a tour, also leaving a prepared welcome hamper which is just what we needed after our travel there. The villa itself is stunning, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, with the pool and garden area being particularly beautiful. We stayed for 10 days (family of 3) in Villa Orangina, and as we stayed in April, we opted to have pool heating (which is an extra charge). We enjoyed the privacy of the villa and the surrounding area which is very peaceful and quiet. There are speakers in the sitting area outside which was lovely when spending time outside or in the pool. In the mornings, we had oranges from the garden for juice

Fantastic stay at Villa Mandarina

Fantastic stay at Villa Mandarina. The villa was luxuriously decorated , clean and faultless; the architecture is truly brilliant. The villa itself is equipped with everything you could possibly require, extremely spacious (we were 2 couples and would have ample room for 3 couples). The outside area is very large with outdoor sound system and gets the sun all day. Despina, the host, was fantastic from start to finish, answering all questions during the booking period and even organised a chef to make breakfast for us on the first morning. I highly recommend this luxury villa for any group! The village is within walking distance however we used a driver recommended by Despina to visit the local winery and Chania.

perfect

- perfect location if you want to stay near chania and the stunning northwestern beaches ( falassarna was our favourite ) - very helpful and caring owners - optional pool heating is great during the off-season ( october ) ( pre heated to 26/27° at arrival ) - optional private cook is a nice goodie especially for the first evening/morning - great value for the money - high quality interior and nice architecture - you do not notice the nearby 2 other villas - absolute privacy - plenty of restaurants within a few minutes by car - you dont even have to drive to chania ( we liked the 'RusticGarden' or the 'Quizz' in platanias - will definitely come back ...

Good to be back!

We have just returned from a glorious week in villa Mandarina, this was our third visit and once again we fell in love with this place even more. It was lovely seeing Despina and her team, they really do know how to look after you in a very professional, discreet way. My highlight was an early morning yoga class by the pool, then on our last night Despina organised her chef to cook a tasty Cretan supper for us a beautiful way to end our week away. Thank you Despina, see you again-soon.

Luxury villa stay for the whole family

Our stay at Villa Orangia, Conte Marino Villas, was first class. The villa and gardens/ pool are beautiful and practical. The space works, and the villa is beautifully airconditioned throughout so we slept well every night on lovely bedding/ pillows/ mattresses. The location is great - there is a supermarket 2-3 minutes drive, Platanias is less than 10 min drive with a lovely beach and restaurants for lunch, and you can access the beautiful West and South coast beaches with a car. We had brilliant days at Elafonisi, Balos beach (via a private boat trip from Fallasarna) and Sfiniri, which is on the wild, rocky west coast but worth it for the fresh fish at Captain Fidaes's restaurant. We also drove into Chania 6 or 7 times for dinner and we enjoyed it every time. Chania is a

Exceptional vacation

We spent a week at the Villa Orangia and enjoyed every minute of it. Despina is a wonderful host and get in touch with you beforehand and makes sure to meet every wish. She has amazing suggestions for dining, booking appointments and she even made all the calls necessary to find our lost luggage. The Villa itself is a mix of modern architecture and traditional housing. You und everything you need. There is a great kitchen, we cooked a lot of meals and used the vegetables from the garden in the compound. Breakfast ist individually cooked by Dimitri every morning which is a blast. We plan to come back!!

Premium villa - lovely host - perfect holiday!

We booked our stay after the beautiful pictures on the website. When we arrived, it exceeded our expectations. The house Mandarina is full of premium furniture and all apliances are present! We were blown away by the amazing pool which was cleaned every morning, and started our day with a lovely and varieing breakfast prepared by the private chefs. We proceeded the day by following all the tips Despina gave us. We dined at amazing restaurants, enjoyed beautiful nice beaches (falasarna) and went on a private boat trip, all aranged with recommandations of Our lovely host. This was certainly one of the better experiences we enjoyed in our travel life, thanks to al Cretenzian people, we will be back!

Wonderful week at Villa Orangia

We spent a wonderful week last week at Villa Orangia (one of the three villas at Conte Marino). We booked very last minute as our original holiday was cancelled due to quarantine restrictions. Despina was so helpful from the moment we booked, in contact in WhatsApp to immediately check details and get the villa ready for us with 24 hours notice. She also put the pool heating on for us. The villa is in a great location - 20 minutes or so from Chania and 40 mins from the airport. It was end of season so we didnt sample many of the local beach towns which were quiet but spent most of our evenings in Chania old town which was still bustling and very charming. The pool at the villa is lovely - around 15 metres and perfect for kids and also adults wanting to swim lengths. It Is set
